TRACE MAGAZINE

About me:

Our Final Issue, by Claude Grunitzky Around the year 2000, when we published our seminal “Brasil 2000” edition, featuring 18 year-old model Adriana Lima on the cover, our readers (and most TRACE editors) noticed that I had become more and more interested in Brazil. When, faced with shrinking numbers of readers and ad pages, I first started thinking of publishing the final issue of TRACE, about a year ago, it seemed natural that the last edition be devoted entirely to Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, two Brazilian states I have learnt to love for their humanity and authenticity. To this day, humanity and authenticity are the two attributes I most closely associate TRACE Magazine with. Thank you for supporting TRACE over the past 14 years. Look our for our media new venture, TRUE, launching on March 1st, 2011.
